In truth, I entirely agree with this. I also entirely enjoy kicking the hornet's nest on social media for my own amusement. Both can be true.

Picturing the arabic version of this is so funny. Imagine telling someone about pistachios and being like "bro they put some fustuq-halabi on the knafeh and the Attar was so sweet"

It's not "exceptionalism" when you're speaking in that language, though. Nobody goes to Mexico or Beliz and tut-tuts all of the "Spanish Exceptionalis." Nobody freaks out when Germans use the German titles for things when speaking in German. I feel like I am going insane!

No, SungWon is absolutely correct here. The insistence on sticking with the Japanese title when there is already a perfectly acceptable English one is utterly asinine. Nobody does this in Japanese literature, or film, or any other art form. It's just the anime nerds who insist on being obtuse.

Grading dozens upon dozens of paragraphs becomes exponentially more draining on both a physical and spiritual level when you are confronted with the fact that around half of your 11th-grade students are reading and writing at *maybe* a 7th-grade level.

[Review] If the show has anything to say about addiction and immaturity keeping people stuck in their lives, it's that none of us on this side of the screen are really any different from Yani Neko and her pals (feline features notwithstanding).

I am genuinely interested in watching this interview, but I legitimately need to know why the conversation has hundreds of jump-cuts that seemingly cut every single pause in Finkelstein's lengthy responses, no matter how minute. It makes me feel insane trying listen to him speak.

it does truly need to be seen in motion to be believed. It’s not every day you find yourself sorta blinking and questioning if you didn’t hallucinate what happened.

(That said if there is one element of discourse that can be done without here its in some folks framing the the ending not delivering on what they wanted as some kind of overt moral failing on the director's part than simply just disliking it.)

At some point, people need to engage with FF7's remakes in terms of what they *are* and not because of what they aren't. Meet it where it's at, not what they "didn't do." Those guys swung for the fences with this trilogy, and that's worth more to me than a new coat of paint on a timeless classic.
